KITIMAT - The Douglas Channel Energy project, a floating LNG plant for Kitimat, which fizzled over the last couple of years, has been reborn under the ownership of a consortium which includes Pacific Northern Gas parent company AltaGas. Now the consortium — which is officially called AltaGas Idemitsu Joint Venture Limited Partnership (AIJVLP) — says they have full ownership of the Douglas Channel LNG project and are aiming for a final investment decision on its project by the fourth quarter this year, with a forecasted operational date of sometime in 2018. The project is barge-based, where natural gas will be processed on the water, and delivered on the PNG line, which notably will directly benefit individual consumers as it will lower the delivery cost for gas to homes. The land needed for this proposal, District Lot 99, is along the west side of the channel, and the partners have already secured the site with a long-term lease with the Haisla. AltaGas’s Director of Financing and Communications Jess Nieukerk said this project’s direct benefit to the community, or in fact all customers of Pacific Northern Gas, is that by using up the volume capacity on the line, natural gas prices should drop due to a reduced delivery charge. He said developing the project would require constructing an 8km line of pipe from the existing line which would employ up to 50 people. He said it’s too early to know what the long-term, operational employment numbers would be. This project would export a project 550,000 tonnes a year of LNG, making it substantially smaller than other projects being considered. Meanwhile the company is also seeking a new export licence, which the previous iteration of this project had but has since expired. Nieukerk said they can either apply for a new one or could petition to have the original permit amended to include the new partners. This project could also potentially tie in to another AltaGas proposed project called Triton LNG, which would be built with the same model. The project had been eyeing locations in Kitimat and Prince Rupert but with Douglas Channel LNG potentially moving forward the site would allow for the simultaneous development of Triton, which would have a higher export volume as well. The Japanese company Indemitsu, which is a partner with AltaGas in the Douglas Channel LNG consortium, is also a partner with AltaGas in the Aurora LNG project. Filling the need for gas with this project would require twinning the existing Pacific Northern Gas pipeline.

Wolves spotted prowling the streets of Prince Rupert By Martina Perry

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT Prince Rupert RCMP issued a warning regarding wolves within city boundaries last week. Over the past month Prince Rupert RCMP have received 14 calls for service regarding wolf sightings within the urban areas of Prince Rupert. “During this time of the year, typically we do get similar call volumes when it comes to wolf sightings,” said Const. Matt Ericson, spokesperson of the Prince Rupert RCMP, adding the numerous sightings have been scattered throughout the “What happens is that the mountains start

to get quite a bit of snow and that forces deer down into the community ... of course with the deer being a food source, the wolves follow.” Gareth Scrivner, a conservation officer in the North Coast zone, also said it’s been a typical year in terms of the amount of people calling after seeing a wolf, noting reports usually stem from one or two dominant wolves in a pack. “We generally see an increase in sightings reported to us around this time of year,” he said. “Most people know that Kaien Island has wolves, like most places on the B.C. coast. Places where wolves have been successful in getting food will more than

Gov’t scholarships are phased out VICTORIA - The provincial government is phasing out its traditional post secondary college and university scholarship awards to a new system to recognize its increasing emphasis on trades. Each year more than 20,000 individual awards totatalling $15.6 million are now distributed to qualifying individuals based on academic performance, excellence in non academic fields and the completion of apprenticeship courses. The plan is for a new program which better

reflects individual approaches to education and that is to look at awards also tailored to local needs and values and achievement beyond grades and exam marks.

they are more afraid of you,” said Ericson. The conservation office encourages those who spot a wolf to contact 1-877-952-7277 so

likely get another visit,” Scrivner said. However, the Terrace conservation office did receive a call back in December regarding a wolf that had picked up a small dog and dropped it, with Scrivner stating the dog was taken to the vet and is expected to recover. “Prince Rupert residents who choose to leave small pets outside, especially during the hours of darkness, may attract wolves and could risk the health of their pets,” he said. Ericson said there are simple precautions community members can take to deter wolves from urban areas. This includes removing all potential food sources from outdoor areas, thoroughly clean areas where game may have been quartered, not leaving small pets unattended outdoors and supervising young children when out playing or walking. Prince Rupert RCMP remind people who encounter a wolf to remain calm and not run from the animal. Back away slowly and leave

Shawn Hall and Matthew Roger of The Harpoonist and the Axe Murderer.

A night of the blues in Kitimat Submitted THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - The Harpoonist and the Axe Murderer: you might wonder what the Kitimat Concert Association is bringing to you on Friday the 13th. You might be forgiven for thinking that the Vancouver based duo is some sort of concept group based on a hypothetical love story between Captain Ahab and Lizzie Borden. However you would be wrong. In reality, Shawn ‘The Harpoonist’ Hall, armed with an arsenal of harmonicas and Matthew ‘The Axe Murderer’ Roger with his road worn Telecaster kick out raw and primal blues. The two met and bonded over music while recording a radio jingle. Their memora-

ble name is inspired by a lyric from Kris Kristofferson’s ‘Bobby McGee’ that references the blues harp, (‘I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana’) and ‘axe’, a common term for the guitar. Their influences range from the iconic songwriting of Willie Dixon to the boundary pushing of Jack White and Danger Mouse but their sound is distinctly their own, smothered in greasy, gritty soul and imbued with funk. Shawn Hall provides the rousing, rugged vocals and blues harmonica, while Matthew Rogers rips on the guitar and pounds the skins with his feet. Their music is unapologetic. It slaps you in the face and makes you sweat like it’s a sticky, summer night. It cuts you to the core. It’s the blues played the

way it was meant to be played. Shawn and Matthew have received considerable recognition in the last few years. They have been nominated for multiple Maple Blues Awards and won ‘Blues Act of the Year’ at the SiriusXM Indies in 2013. The duo has also pounded their fair share of festival stages including SXSW 2013/14, Winnipeg Folk Fest, Ottawa Blues Fest, Calgary Folk Fest, and Montreal Jazz Fest. Along the way they’ve shared the stage with Taj Mahal, Booker T Jones, David Wilcox, Mother Mother, The Sheep Dogs, and Serena Ryder. They’ve also had songs featured on television shows such as the ‘The Good Wife’, ‘Blue Bloods’, and the aptly-named TV movie

Valentine’s Day Dinner at Mount Layton Hotsprings

‘Lizzie Borden Took An Axe’. As an added bonus they are joined by Jody Peck, aka Miss Quincy. Miss Quincy began her music career in the wild mountains of northern B.C., though she’s been a touring warrior since the beginning, releasing her debut Your Mama Don’t Like Me in 2010, and follow-up Like The Devil Does in 2012.

Family seeking answers 25 years after fatal fire in Rupert By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - After a quarter of a century, Patricia Rochon is holding out hope that the person who started a fire that killed four members of her family will be brought to justice. At 5:15 a.m. on Feb. 5, 1990, fire broke out at the Brooks Bank Building on 3rd Avenue West. When fire crews arrived the building was fully engulfed in flames and it took crews hours to extinguish the fire. When the smoke cleared, the bodies of four people were recovered from the wreckage. Those four were Patricia’s 45year old mother Hega Rochon, her sisters Sherri, 26, and Pauline, 19, as well as Pauline’s seven-month old daughter Kimberly Dumais. All

told, three generations of Rochon women were killed on that tragic night. In the years since, Patricia said the one responsible has not been found despite one witness and a document believed to be sent from the arsonist. “We did get a letter approximately five years ago and provided it to the RCMP, but they weren’t able to get anything from it. I would like to make a plea for the person that sent that letter or anyone who has information to come forward,” said Patricia, adding that closure is what the family is truly seeking. “There are three of us still alive and I don’t want to pass this tragedy on to our children because most of them were not born when the fire struck.” Patricia isn’t the only one this

incident has stuck with. “I still think about the moment,” Staff Sgt. Garry Kerry, the original lead investigator at the time of the fire, said in a statement in 2011. “The scene was horrific. I can still see them huddled together in the living room area, the small child still in her mother’s arms. I can’t imagine the horror they went through.” The father of seven-month-old Kimberly Dumais, Tim, Patricia and other surviving family members and friends want the individual responsible to be brought to justice before another anniversary comes and goes. Anyone with information is asked to call the Provincial Unsolved Homicide Unit at 1-877543-4822 or Crime Stoppers.

MP weighs in on debate surrounding Alaska Ferry terminal By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT Skeena-Bulkey Valley MP Nathan Cullen remains hopeful that the feud between the Canadian and American governments can be resolved and a new Alaskan ferry terminal will be built in Prince Rupert. “It’s just not in Alas-

ka’s interests to hold this up. This is an investment that makes sense for their own people and for travel to the Alaskan Panhandle and beyond. It’s cutting off their nose to spite their face,” he said during a teleconference with media last week. Cullen said he has been in conversation with Minister for International Trade Ed Fast regarding the ferry ter-

minal upgrade, imploring that negotiations continue and for there to be a way the terminal gets built. “What I was encouraging the minister to do is to make sure the lines of communication are still open even as the Alaskans have pushed off their decision whether or not to build this terminal,” Cullen said.

Parksville-Qualicum MLA Michelle Stilwell after winning the 100m gold medal at the Paralympic World Championships in Lyon, France, July 2013.

New social dev minister By Tom Fletcher

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

CAMERON ORR / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT — Cooks Jewellers Manager Donna Connors presents Salvation Army representative Cecil Price a cheque for $2,166.66. The regional stores collected money from the sale of special Christmas ornaments over the holidays with the proceeds to go to the Salvation Army.

VICTORIA - Parksville - Qualicum MLA Michelle Stilwell was sworn in Monday as B.C.’s minister for social development and social innovation. Comox Valley MLA Don McRae asked to be relieved of his cabinet role last week to deal with an illness in his family, and Premier Christy Clark appointed Stilwell to replace him. The ministry is in charge of social assistance, provincial disability assistance and Community Living B.C., the agency responsible for people with developmental disabilities. The cabinet change comes as the ministry reviews its long-standing policy of deducting spousal child sup-

port payments from money paid to social assistance recipients. Stilwell will likely be a target of opposition critics on that and other poverty-related issues when the B.C. legislature reconvenes Feb. 10. A multiple medal-winning Paralympic athlete in basketball and wheelchair racing, Stilwell was elected to the B.C. legislature in May 2013, and has served as B.C. Liberal caucus chair. Clark named Abbotsford South MLA Darryl Plecas to replace Stilwell as parliamentary secretary for seniors. Clark has said the B.C. Liberal government will table its third balanced budget on Feb. 17, after considering revenues and spending priorities such as an increase in social assistance rates.

A call for more openness in Port Ed Planning for growth By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PORT EDWARD - As Port Edward prepares to potentially undergo major growth with the emergence of the liquefied natural gas industry, some residents are calling for more openness from district council. “When I was canvassing and talking to people, what I heard is what one gets out of this office and what is really happening don’t connect,” said Alice Kruta at the Jan. 27 meeting. One of the two main focal areas of concern for Kruta was Port Edward’s Official Community Plan (OCP), a document that outlines areas for different types of development going forward. “Not many people even know what the OCP is and the importance of it with regards to decisions being made. There is a lot of changes to the 2013 OCP ... ask anyone on the street if they know what the OCP is. You’re going to be surprised because you’re not going to get a lot of people who know what it is and how important it is,” she said. “This is why I would like to see small public meetings. You want a smooth, functioning Official Community Plan and that is not happening ... I know it is a lot of work, but it is our bible.” Noting some opposition to LNG in the community, Kruta said the time to make changes is now. “I am really concerned about a lot of young people. There is nothing here for young people to do and I real-

ly think that is an important issue because the young people are our future. They are the ones who are going to be looking after us,” she said. In responding to her concerns about the plan and industrial development, acting Mayor Dan Franzen noted there was opportunity for input throughout the process. “There were public meetings and they were reported. There were public meetings for the OCP, for the camps, the LNG plants – they all have public meetings. I have sat here in them and a lot of times nobody shows up, but the information is out there ... the community’s reflection [in the OCP] is friendly growth. We don’t want to be Vancouver. You’re going to see a lot of changes in the next little while. Some you’re going to like, some you’re probably not,” he said, adding LNG is one way for Port Edward to address issues related to young people. “LNG is going to make it so there are things for our young people to do because right now we have a tax base of almost nothing. Until we get some structures here, it is going to be the same.” Franzen also noted council is in the midst of changing how council meetings are held to allow for more public participation. “We had a meeting on that and we are going to have an opportunity for public input at the end of the meeting. It won’t be for big, long speeches, but if you have a simple question we are going to address that ... we do want a user-friendly system, so if you have a question it is not a problem,” he said,

adding anyone is welcome to attend the regular monthly meetings. However, Coun. Grant Moore suggested council go even further in opening up more communication with people in Port Edward. “I would like us to have, every six months, a public forum, almost a question and answer period for the residents of Port Edward in order to be transparent. Everybody talked about transparency in their campaign, here and Prince Rupert, and I think it would go a long way for residents,” he said. “It would just be good to get the community together every six months and some people are nervous about coming to the more formal council meeting.” Along with creating more council access for the public, Kruta said a lot of residents’ concerns could be addressed by making better use of the district bulletin, which is sent out to all residents. “It could be used more diligently to post changes or bylaws that are coming up or notices that are coming up. It seems like you are doing just what you are legally required to do,” she said. “The newsletter is so predictable most people just throw it out. It has the transit info and council news, but that is as vague as it can get. There are no postings, no land use decisions, no community report, no committee reports. This could really be made a lot more effective because everybody in Port Edward gets this.”

PRINCE RUPERT - When major projects give the green light to proceed, there will be little chance for local businesses to get in front of the storm, warns BC’s top LNG expert. With more than $60-billion in major projects and investment opportunities planned in the Northwest BC over the next ten to fifteen years, local contractors and suppliers should be looking to take advantage of this economic boom. One question remains: Are you ready? “Now is the time to prepare” says LNG Buy-BC advocate Gordon Wilson. A good opportunity for preparation comes with next month’s Northwest Growth Conference, which features workshops to help local businesses understand the bid process for major industrial projects, get on the supplier list, and how to access funding from NDIT to make the process more affordable for the bottom line. Conference attendees will also hear from businesses from Rupert, Terrace and Kitimat that have gone through the procurement process and are successfully providing products and services to the larger industrial projects in mining, LNG, hydro-electric, and port development. “There are millions of dollars of goods and services needed to support these projects,” says workshop presenter Renata King, a certified management consultant and Director of Business Development with Northern Development Initiative Trust (NDIT) in Prince George. “We are trying to get local contractors and businesses prepared before the boom so procurement starts with local qualified companies.” Registrants will also be able to take advantage of the Coaches Corner on the second day and meet with experts in the areas of procurement, succession planning, marketing and branding, and business planning who will offer free advice. Other conference workshops include Growing Your Business, Succession Strategies and Access to Capital. The Northwest Growth Conference takes place March 6 and 7 in Prince Rupert. Registration information is available at www.hseds. ca/2015NWGC “In terms of procurement this is the chance to see what it takes to get on the preferred local supplier lists of major companies,” King adds.

The splash park portrayed in this digital image is similar to the one the two Rotary clubs in the Terrace want to build at George Little Park. City council is considering the request for the project which would cost $250,000.

Rotary clubs want big splash in downtown Terrace park spot By Josh Massey THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE – The plans by local Rotary clubs to build a kids splash park in Terrace was supported by Terrace council at a recent council meeting, however several councillors were uncertain that George Little Park is the right location. Speaking at the Jan. 26 regular council meeting, Terrace Rotary Club president Kelly Gingles said the park, which already contains a playground section, a seniors exercise section and a performance stage, is their preferred location for the facility because of its centrality and accessibility for all social groups. The Terrace Rotary Club, in concert with the Terrace Skeena Valley Rotary Club who was represented by their president, Lisa Novich, wants to build the up to $250,000 splash park beside the current kids play area. “Not all families can go to the lakes,” said Gingles, adding that the Rotary clubs had thoroughly considered several locations for the splash park. Councillor Stacey Tyers said she thought the Southside would be a better location because most city recreation-

al facilities are already downtown, such as the aquatic centre. She mentioned the park behind Walmart as one possible location or one on Haugland Ave. Diminishing green space was also brought up by Tyers and councillor Lynne Christiansen as worries. She suggested a splash park design that was narrower in dimension and having less of a footprint on the green space. Councillor Michael Prevost said he wanted to ensure it was a safe distance from traffic on

Kalum and other nearby streets. The Rotary presentation mentioned corporate sponsorship and grants as well as money already set aside for such a project and raised through events such as Oktoberfest. The groups are confident they can amass the necessary money for a pegged completion date of summer 2016. Once constructed, maintenance and water costs would be borne by the city, and Gingles said the estimated price is $1,000 based on a splash park in the similar-sized

town of Merritt. The amount of water used would be approximately the same as four to nine houses use in a year, Gingles told council. City staff have yet to create an estimate of the cost and will come back to council with a recommendation based on price and their own analysis of possible locations. Councillor Sean Bujtas said he likes the idea but was waiting to see what the cost estimates for utilities and upkeep of the splash park before fully committing to the project.

Resident hunters say new allocations penalizes them By Anna Killen

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Area hunters say they are going to keep the provincial government in their sights until it backs down on planned changes to the way big-game hunting permits are issued. That was the main message from BC Wildlife Federation (BCWF) director Alan Martin at the Terrace Rod and Gun Club here during an informational meeting on the new regulations, first announced in December and set to be legislated in the coming months. The changes, affecting the hunt of moose, grizzly bears, big horn sheep and other restricted animals, would increase the percentage of permits allocated to guide outfitters and their out-of-province clients and decrease the amount of permits allocated to resident hunters. Resident hunters would still receive a higher percentage of the draw – depending on the region and the animal, anywhere from 60 to 80 per cent. But resident hunters are saying it is the highest percentage allocated to guide outfitters any-

MICHAEL LANGEGGER

where in North America and the BCWF has been leading the charge against the changes by organizing petitions, rallies, and town hall sessions like the one here Jan. 18 across the province. For Mike Langegger, the area’s BCWF representative who organized the session at the Terrace Rod and Gun Club and an earlier session in Kitimat, the shift in allocation is an insult to resident hunters. “It’s viewed as taking a common property, a wildlife resource, and moving towards privatization of a portion of that wildlife,” said Langegger. “Our hunting season brings family and friends together, it’s a high value socially, it’s really the fostering

and nurturing of friendship and family bonds through our hunting opportunities which will now be less. It’s also a key thing as a means of providing healthy organic food.” That point was echoed by Chris Schooner, from the Terrace Rod and Gun Club, who said he doesn’t hunt himself but is concerned for families who rely on hunting for sustenance. In his opinion, there is more to be gained economically by supporting local, resident hunters, than the guide outfitting industry. The Guide Outfitter Association of B.C. (GOABC) has challenged a number of the BCWF’s points, saying in a release Jan. 23 that the guide outfitting industry is a major contributor to rural economies, bringing in “high value” tourists, with the average guided client spending $27,000 on their hunting expedition, and that the new allocation policy makes B.C.’s resident hunter to guided outfitter split comparable to neighbouring jurisdictions. GOABC also notes that the split mainly applies to limited entry hunt (LEH) areas, and

that there are many general open season (GOS) hunting opportunities around the province. But Langegger says that when you take away LEH opportunities from resident hunters around the province, it forces resident hunters to travel sometimes long distances to get to a GOS area away from their local area and that those GOS areas could potentially become overcrowded and over utilized, leading to more restrictions. “A good example of that is we’ve had a GOS season in Skeena North, which is up in the Dease Lake, Stikine, Klappan area and that was typically an eight-week season, and that’s now been shortened down to four weeks and there’s some rumblings about high resident hunter use and that possibly going into limited entry in the future,” he said. Earlier this month, energy and mines minister Bill Bennett, Kootenay MLA, indicated that the government had made a mistake with the changes and that they needed to review the decision. However, hunting allocations actually fall under forestry minister Steve Thomson’s portfolio, and in an in-

terview on CBC Radio’s Early Edition Jan. 22 Thomson stood by the changes in general, saying that he believed the new splits were fair and balanced. He did note that

Heritage fairs connect youth with local and global history By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT While a lot of youth have their eyes on the future, Tom Morton wants to make sure the past isn’t strictly in the rearview mirror. As the provincial co-ordinator for the Heritage Fairs Program in B.C., Morton was in Prince Rupert last week to talk to teachers from across the district about how to connect students with the history of their community and their world. “Through surveys we have found some students don’t know why they are studying history ... my message is that through heritage and critical thinking we can make history come alive and have meaning to young people,” said the self-described history educator. “I try to make history education purposeful, fun and exciting, and that is what heritage fairs are all about.” While the North Coast is new to the concept of heritage fairs, with the first being host-

ed at North Pacific Cannery last year, Morton said it can sometimes be amazing what impact the gatherings can have. “The students get to choose a topic of their own interest, though sometimes it will be on a theme like immigration or the economy, but picking their own subject matter helps motivate them ... it means they see themselves in history and a lot of times there is that disconnect,” he said. “I have seen everything from the history of professional wrestling to the history of dairy farming in B.C.” While students can pick the subject matter, Morton said there is definitely a role for teachers to play in making sure they get the most out of the experience. “Sometimes students can miss the big picture, so it is up to a skilled teacher to take that small-scale idea and put it in a global perspective,” he said, adding the advent of easy-access information also puts responsibility on the

teacher. “Often students take that easily accessible information or the first thing that pops up on a Google search

for the project, but that isn’t always ideal. Just because something is easy to find doesn’t mean it is the best source.”

The NWGC Partnership is pleased to present the

North Pacific Cannery will host its second regional Heritage Fair on April 30 and, while he may not be in attendance, Morton

has a good idea what he would like to see in 2015 and in the years ahead. “I would like to see growth not only in

numbers but in critical thinking,” he said. “Getting in touch with history can really help us understand the world today.”

BC FAMILY DAY FEB. 9, 2015 IN TERRACE, B.C.

Why is BC Family Day unique to B.C.? In 2012, we asked British Columbians when Family Day should fall in February. Following the largest consultation of its kind, British Columbians cast more than 31,000 votes, with the majority saying their preference was for B.C. to have its own unique day on the second Monday in February.

River Kings come close in game one TERRACE - The Terrace River Kings are asking their supporters to fill the rink on Saturday for the second, crucial game of their playoff series against the Smithers Steelheads. The Steelheads managed to pull off a 5-4 win in Smithers last weekend in game one of the CIHL’s western division finals. Patrick Leal was in net for the Kings, taking 44 shots, with David Little taking 49 shots for the Steelheads. The game was tied 2-2 at the end of the first, with goals from Kings’ Brenden Devries and Steve Cullis, before Smithers took the lead in the second, making it 4-3. An unassisted goal by Terrace’s Toby Mitchell two-and-a-half minutes into the third tied it up, but Smithers’ Jaden Janzen took advantage of the powerplay just over halfway through the period to give the Steelheads the 5-4 lead, and the Kings couldn’t find the back of the net for the remainder of the game. The loss means that the Kings need a win on Saturday to force a third game on Sunday, a game that would also be at the Sportsplex. And in the east, Quesnel Kangaroos beat Williams Lake Stampeders 6-5.

TERRACE RIVER KINGS / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

Terrace is looking for revenge against Smithers this weekend at the Sportsplex for game two of the western division CIHL finals.

Two teams came out from Smithers and three teams from Terrace. Results from the Kitimat Aluminum City Men’s Bonspiel: A Event – Greg Morgan (S), Tracy Hittel (3rd), Chad Stevenson (2nd), BJ Houghton

PRINCE RUPERT - By now, the midget rep Terrace Kermodes probably enjoy the confines of Prince Rupert’s Jim Ciccone Civic Centre almost as much as their own arena. Every time the team rolls in, it seems they roll over their Seawolves rivals and roll out – and last weekend was no different during the Prince Rupert Minor Hockey-hosted Battle of the Ice tournament. Hosting Burns Lake, Smithers and Terrace, the four-team tourney came to a head when the Seawolves and Kermodes met up in the final after finishing first and second in the round robin, respectively. And while it was the Seawolves who struck first and won Game One of Battle of the Ice 4-3, it was the Kermodes who had all the momentum during Sunday’s final, skating their way to a 10-0 victory and the gold medal. “We expected to win,” said Kermodes goalie Dion Johnston, who collected his first shutout of the weekend in the final. “Not 10-0. I thought it’d be a little closer, but we wanted it.” The midget rep Kermodes, who lost their only game all weekend to Rupert in that 4-3 loss, beat Smithers 4-2 and Burns Lake 5-4 in the leadup to the final. Johnston played every game except the first against Rupert. Despite the lopsided score, some

of the best hockey played by the Seawolves was that of goaltenders Cole Lindsay, who played the first period and surrendered two goals to the Kermodes’ Ryan Kawinsky and Mark Fisher, and Caleb Perrie, who prevented Terrace from piling it on in the second period when he took over. Perrie fought off deflected shots from the point and large amounts of traffic in front to keep Terrace’s lead respectable at 5-0 after two periods. Two tremendous saves in particular by Perrie occurred when he stuck his right pad out to deny Freddie Mowatt a one-timer from point-blank range and another stop, again with his pads, on Liam Albright who was pounding away at a loose puck, but a down-and-out Perrie kept his right leg firmly against the post, showing off the youngsters’ lower-body strength. Yet despite his best efforts, Perrie could only do so much and three goals by Connor Onstein, Hunter Johnson and Kermodes captain Cole Motschilnig gave the Kermodes a commanding 5-0 lead after two periods. Onstein’s tally was on the powerplay and Motschilnig’s was on a delayed call against Rupert. The Kermodes broke the game wide open in the third period, where they relentlessly hemmed the Seawolves in their own zone for minutes at a time and added five more goals to their score. A shorthanded marker got things going four minutes into the third, fol-

lowed by a four-on-four goal by Sam Reinbolt, who slid a wrister underneath the pads of Perrie with 6:47 left in the game. Then, on a five-on-three man-advantage, with Rupert desperate for a line change, the gigantic Nicholas Nordstrom found a lane from the right point to put Terrace up 8-0. Two more goals by Albright and Colten Stark rounded out the scoring for the Kermodes. “We worked really good as a team today,” said Johnston. “We really pulled together after our loss. We were pretty rusty the first couple games. All of us have been here since peewee – this is pretty much the same team we had back then,” he said of the group’s closeness. Smithers defeated Burns Lake for the bronze medal 5-1 and in other round robin action, Smithers dumped Burns Lake 4-1 in their first meeting, Prince Rupert topped Burns Lake 6-2, Terrace doubled up on Smithers 4-2, then beat Burns Lake 5-4, and Prince Rupert beat Smithers 5-3. Prince Rupert’s most points award went to Cole Atchison, while Karanpal Gill got player of the game and Austin Weir won Prince Rupert’s player of the tournament. Terrace’s most points award was won by Johnson, Tanner Braid was game MVP and the tournament MVP title went to the Kermodes’ Eric Vandevelde.
